RE: Angus Macleod-to promenade or not to promenade

Marie,
I have to say that I would go with whatever David Queen suggests given
that it was his father who devised the dance back in 1969. Also, I have
to admit I have never seen it danced with promendae. And, your
instructions say 'dance up/down' which I have always understood to be
nearer hands.
For interest, Angus MacLeod was the founder of the Clan MacLeod Pipe
Band in Liverpool (just down the road from where I grew up), which was
the band Alex Queen (David's father) piped in.
Rgds,
Phill

Hi Simon and others
Yes, I see it could be side by side hands instead of promenade.
Yes, I have seen cpls following each other around their corner person.
That said, I did ask David Queen when he was in Victoria and he did say
" I can tell you there is no promenade"
Thank you for your reply and other private reply to clear this question
that has been on my mind.
Cheers
Marie
